CHAPTER 569

SENATE BILL 931

 

AN ACT TO AUTHORIZE THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF WESTERN CAROLINA UNIVERSITY TO COOPERATE WITH JACKSON COUNTY IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF A COUNTY-WIDE SEWER SYSTEM - TRANSFER OF FUNDS.

 

Whereas, under Chapter 755(4)(V) of the 1969 Session Laws of North Carolina an appropriation was made by the General Assembly to Western Carolina University of five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000) for an addition to its Sewage Treatment Plant; and

Whereas, Jackson County now purports to develop a county-wide sewer system; and

Whereas, it would be more practical for Western Carolina University to participate in the development of and connect to such county-wide sewer system for this would bring Western Carolina University up to the standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency; and

Whereas, other state universities by and large, due to their locations, have connected with the sewer systems of the cities wherein located; and

Whereas, such transfer of funds would require no new or additional appropriation; Now, therefore,

 

The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:

 

Section 1. The Board of Trustees of Western Carolina University is hereby authorized to enter into an agreement with the County of Jackson to participate in the development of a county-wide sewer system and for the connecting of the sewer system of Western Carolina University campus to such county-wide sewer system and the Board of Trustees of Western Carolina University is hereby authorized to transfer not more than three hundred fifty thousand dollars ($350,000) to the Board of Commissioners of the County of Jackson as matching funds for the development of aforesaid county-wide sewer systems; provided, such transfer of funds shall be subject to the approval of the Advisory Budget Commission.

Sec. 2. This act shall become effective upon ratification.

In the General Assembly read three times and ratified, this the 17th day of May, 1973.
